Retrograde Progression of Inner Preputial Skin to Overcome Skin Shortage in Cases of Congenital Buried Penis.

Aim: The aim of this study is to report our experience in the treatment of congenital buried penis using a simplified technique of retrograde progression of inner preputial skin for reconstruction and overcome skin shortage.

Methods: This is a retrospective multi-institutional study conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, I Q City Medical College and Hospital, Durgapur, West Bengal, India, and the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital/Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka, India, over a period of 3 years (from March 2019 to February 2022). A total of 14 cases of primary congenital buried penis were operated in the specified period.

Prevalence and Severity of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Diabetic and Hypertensive Patients: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.

Background The ability to perceive sound is crucial for effective communication and environmental awareness. This study aimed to assess sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in patients with both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN). Materials and methods A total of 120 participants of both genders were divided into three groups: Group I consisted of diabetic patients (n=40, 22 males and 18 females), Group II included hypertensive individuals (n=40, 16 males and 24 females), and Group III served as controls (n=40, 15 males and 25 females).

Column study using modified banana pseudo stem as adsorbent for removal of Pb (II).

Eco-friendly adsorbents such as banana pseudo stem play a fundamental role in the removal of heavy metal elements from the wastewater. Key water resources and chemical industries have been encountering difficulties in removing heavy metal elements using existing conventional methods. The lead-removal process is currently a challenging task for environmental scientists and engineers in terms of cost, effluent disposal, and safety concerns.

Three Different Regimens for Vitamin K Birth Prophylaxis in Infants Born Preterm: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To study the efficacy of 3 different vitamin K birth prophylaxis regimens in infants born premature.

Study Design: This was an open-label, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial conducted in a tertiary neonatal care unit in India. Infants born very preterm (≤32 weeks) and/or with very low birth weight (≤1500 g) were included.

Association of Cord Blood Glucose, Sodium, Potassium, and Calcium Levels With Neonatal Birth Asphyxia: A Hospital-Based Study.

Context Neonatal birth/perinatal asphyxia is a serious condition with the potential to cause damage to various tissues of the body especially the brain. Hypoxia can cause metabolic disturbances, which in turn can lead to imbalances in the levels of glucose, electrolytes, and calcium, which can further worsen the condition. Early detection of these biochemical derangements and immediate correction can prevent the complications and lifelong disabilities of birth asphyxia due to injury to vital organs particularly the brain.

Synergetic effect of bismuth vanadate over copolymerized carbon nitride composites for highly efficient photocatalytic H and O generation.

The development of copolymerized carbon nitride (CN)-based photocatalysts may support advances in photocatalytic overall water splitting. However, the recombination of charge carriers is the main bottleneck that reduces its overall photocatalytic activity. To overcome this problem, the construction of heterojunction technology has emerged as an effective approach to reduce the charge carrier recombination, thereby improving charge separation and transport efficiency.

Enhanced photocatalytic overall water splitting from an assembly of donor-π-acceptor conjugated polymeric carbon nitride.

Well-organized water splitting semiconducting photocatalyst is an important concept, but stimulating aimed at decisive energy and environmental emergencies. In this context, visible light-based photocatalytic water splitting with low-dimensional semiconducting materials is proposed to produce sustainable energy. Here we optimized the sequential of organic electron-rich heterocyclic monomer namely benzothiadiazole (BTD) quenched within polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) semiconductor via copolymerization, thereby assembling a sanctum of donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) photocatalysts.

Molecular engineering of carbon nitride towards photocatalytic H evolution and dye degradation.

The development of superior heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogen (H) evolution is a significant feature and challenging for determining the energy and environmental crises. However, the dumping of numerous lethal colorants (dye) as of textile manufacturing has fascinated widespread devotion-aimed water pollution anticipation and treatment. In this regard, a photocatalytic H evolution by visible light using low-dimensional semiconducting materials having pollutant degradable capacity for Rhodamine B dyes (RhB) has been anticipated as a route towards environmental aspect.
